Andy Villela
The artist's primary medium is painting, serving as the backbone of her creative output. Villela's work is a dynamic exploration of the intersection between her body and the canvas, accompanied by an ongoing experimentation with materials. This approach results in a thought-provoking and inquisitive artistic language that challenges established norms of social and aesthetic rationality. In her quest to establish a unique artistic language, Villela places special emphasis on the physical connection between her body and her artistic tools, most notably the canvas, paint, and brush. Her paintings seamlessly blend elements of figurative and abstract, defying straightforward interpretation and blurring the boundaries between the human scale and other dimensions. This approach gives prominence to the gestural aspects of her creative process, continually unraveling the emotional depth of her movements. It's within this layer that the poetic essence of her work becomes evident: a form of painting that liberates itself from the constraints of figurative representation, while delving into the subjective journey triggered by her multifaceted relationship with the canvas. Thus, constructing a non-linear narrative that continually transcends the constraints of a numbed creative process.
